Crossing Lines

Is that necessary?

He's a garden variety scumbag, not Hannibal Lecter.

Procedure, Ma'am.

Procedure, ma'am.

Oh, isn't this adorable?

Lover boy's come all this way to see you in the rain.

Or is it me you've come to see, Carl?

Take him.

How was your flight?

He snores. Doesn't smell too good either.

And here I thought we had a real nice time.

I didn't say it wasn't nice.

Bringing you here to face an international court

is one of the highlights of my life.

Then, sugar, you need a better life.

Hey.

Home sweet home.

Did he seem too unconcerned to you.

He's covering. Brave face.

I don't know, the whole way here,

it felt like he knew something I didn't.

Amanda, he's a pompous piece of shit who wants you doing

exactly what you are now.

Right. Right...

He's going to be in prison for the rest of his life.

If not here, then back in New York.

Want to get a drink?

Not unless you want me to lose my two year chip.

Sober?

Mm-hmm.

It's kinda nice not to have to go out and find my car every morning.

I'm off morphine. Are we getting old and dull?

I don't know about you, but I actually feel younger.

Louis told me you still haven't gotten that apartment.

But I booked you into a really nice hotel.

Hmm, good. That's good.

Um... tour of The Hague?

Hotel Leopold.

Do we still have our understanding?

Of course. Nothing has changed.

Then do not deviate from the plan.

I must save them! I don't want to do this anymore.

Hey.

Does anyone know what is happening?

Hey, Lech is my friend! I think there is a mistake.

I was only supposed to be seeing someone about a job.

Drag him inside.

Any more questions?

Thank you.

Phillip Genovese...

You were brought to Europe to stand trial here.

Yeah, I know. It's an elite bracket.

You requested my appearance, Mr. Genovese.

It is going to be a very short one

if this is not going to be anything more than badinage.

- Badi... Badi-what? - Badinage. "Playful banter."

Oh. Oh, no, this is gonna be much more than playful banter.

What if I had something to offer you?

That I would want?

I would find that very difficult to believe.

The Eleutheria.

That sank off Greece? How many people died?

54.

Six of those women were thrown overboard on the way.

The others were all locked in the hold as it sank.

They were being transported against their will.

- Human trafficking. - Yeah, a tragic event.

And you had something to do with it?

Hey, hey, hey, wasn't my boat.

But suppose I could tell you whose it was?

And not just the registered name, but the real owner

of the boat and cargo.

What would be in it for me?

Give me the name.

It's a really big name. You might cream yourself.

Aleksander Robak.

Oh, look at that reaction, yeah. That's... that's it.

There are a great many people in your line of endeavour

who would try to utilize the name Aleksander Robak.

I'm gonna give you a taste.

A little town called Nysa, Poland.

That'll be your first stop on a very long trip.

- Figured you'd be here. - Something's wrong.

- What's wrong? - I went to get Genovese

for his extradition arraignment,

and the prosecutor told me that he's on a special hold.

- What prosecutor? - Your boss's wife, Rebecca Daniel.

Carl, we've been waiting for you.

- Yeah, I have something that... - I think you may want to hear this.

Both of you.

This man is our enemy.

His name is Aleksander Robak.

In the 80s, he worked for the Polish Security Services,

their secret police.

Then he capitalized on the fall of communism and made millions.

And now he is one of the

most notorious crime bosses east of Berlin.

I have sent Sebastian Berger to Berlin to follow some leads.

Leads on what?

Six months ago,

the Greek-flagged ship The Eleutheria sank.

With a cargo hold filled with trafficked women.

Yes. 54 women.

All of them drowned.

- We have a lead on that? - We have an informant.

No... no way.

- You think you know Genovese? - Bear me out.

One of Robak's most lucrative operations

is the trafficking of young men,

conscripted in Europe and then transported to the Gulf

where they serve as slaves.

I didn't bring Genovese here so the ICC could play games with him.

I do not play games, Detective.

He gave me something small.

If it bears fruit we will give him something small in return,

and then he will give us something more.

- Who is "we?" - "We" is the two of you.

He is your prisoner. No one knows him like you do.

I need the two of you to work him with me.

And are you

sure that it's not you

who is being worked? Because this is what he does.

It is not going to cost us anything more

than a little bit of time while we check out the lead.

What's the lead?

Are you serious?

- Are you really serious here? - If he hasn't promised him anything,

what does it hurt

to find out what the lead is? Please, sir, what is the lead?

He told me that all of the journeys begin in a hotel in Nysa.

That's a small town in western Poland.

- Eva... - Yes, sir.

Check-in undercover and look around this hotel.

I'll see what I can find.

Tommy, Arabela, do back-up. Touch base with the locals.

You're making a deal with the devil.

A devil.

And it won't be my first one.

- I don't really get this. - This?

The whole trafficking thing. Isn't it expensive?

You ship a bunch of guys thousands of miles from home to be slaves.

Why bother?

If you want to force some men into slavery,

there must sources closer to home.

I guess the buyer is choosy.

These are not just

any old slaves to dig roads or lift heavy loads.

These are personal slaves, an elite.

Some Emir or ex-pat billionaire especially wants Europeans.

Yeah...

Oh, man.

This world just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

Hello.

- Hi. - Are you checking in?

Um... I'm sorry, I don't speak Polish.

- That's okay. Are you checking in? - Yes, yes.

- Can I help you? - Yeah, sure.

Thanks.

Investigator Berger? Staff Sergeant Malinowski, Nysa Police.

Nice to meet you.

Your colleagues arrived 20 minutes ago.

All right.

He's a good man. Dorn.

What difference does that make?

Look, if we can use Genovese to bring down more traffickers,

that's not a bad thing.

I told you last night, I had a feeling the entire way here

that he knew something I didn't.

He had an ace to play.

Have you thought about this?

How the hell did he even know who this Dorn is?

He came here with a plan.

He sought Dorn out, not the other way around.

He had something to tell him,

something he knew Dorn would be interested in.

We are so far behind him on this one,

and you and I both know that is not the place

you wanna be with Phillip Genovese.

It's how people get hurt.

How long will you be staying?

Only a day or two.

But I heard nice things about this town.

It's very quiet here.

Well, at Christmas things pick up again.

- The room has a nice view. - Great. Thank you.

All by yourselves here?

It's a lot of work for just you and your boss.

He's my father.

- Tough working for family. - Yeah.

Wow.

It's very nice.

Do you need anything else?

Uh, no, I'm okay for now. Maybe later.

- Call the desk. - All right.

Can I ask you something?

I mean, I know it's none of my business, but, uh...

are you all right?

You seem kind of sad.

Yeah. You're right. It's none of your business.

I told you before. I don't know anything.
